Xeno Sola: Tile Placement Game

by Chris Jorgensen · in Torque Game Builder · 05/05/2008 (12:31 pm) · 8 replies

I thought I'd share a few pics from my current project. It's a Carcassonne-style game set in the "Xeno Versus" universe. It's taken me just over a month to get to this point and I'm nearing the beta stage. I'm pretty excited about this one. It's just some new music, a few particle effects, and a couple art tweaks from completion. :)

Thanks for the compliments. Here's a couple newer shots. Higher in-game resolution. Plus, you get the see the "overlay" effect that's finally in place. The idea was that completed structures should be highlighted in the player's color. It's wrapping up nicely.

This looks fun. Carcassonne on xbox live is really great, and this looks quite similar.
